I've been toying with the idea of selling art at cons, and a lot of artists make money off keychains, buttones, etc... Usually they tend to be things with chibis in them, so I decided to try and develop a chibi style! I started out with Bumblebee because I'm a huge fan of the design he has for his Generations toy, and his IDW design. I just find that there's something cool about a Bee with a movie-esque body and a G1 head. Wanted to do a Decepticon too, so I altered the lines slightly and coloured Bee as Bug Bite! I was thinking of asking for some suggestions for TF chibis. Personally, I would like suggestions that aren't the obvious ones, like Optimus, Starscream... etc... It would be cool to have suggestions that most people wouldn't think of first, like Dirt Boss from TFC! XD So... who might you like to see? On the short list I know I want to do: - SG Soundwave/ AKA Sir Soundwave - IDW Blurr - BM Jetstorm - The human shaped cassettes - Crumplezone EDIT: Added a bunch of Bumblebee repaints, enjoy! Also, I added an extra outline to the lines of the chibis, let me know if I should keep or get rid of the outline on them.
Those look cool. Since you're asking for suggestions, what about Dispensor/Mountain Dew bot from the first movie?
Those old G1 mini-spies would really lend themselves to that Autobot/Decepticon pairing you have going on here. And you can't get much more obscure than those mini-spies. Well, maybe the Powerdashers...
MTMTE FTW! Thank you! Oh man!!! I totally forgot about Dispensor! Awesome pick there! He would make a great chibi! Thanks for reminding me of him. Hmmmm Mini spies? I guess they must be obscure, I've never heard of them. LOL Hehe, I'll have to look into them and the Powerdashers.
hmmm,this is nice. very nice,i been wondering if you can do g2 go-bots,reason being? go give my digibash a look.
They are most famously depicted in this Commercial There were three different molds (jeep, dune buggy, sports car), each with three different colors (yellow, blue, white), and each was randomly given either an Autobot or Decepticon rub-sign. 3x3x2=36 potential variants! And you could only buy them as pack-ins with Autobot minicars...it was devious!
Thanks! Hehe, Glyph ,might come down the road, if only to complete the "Bee Family". XD Thanks! G2 Gobots? LOL I probably won't be doing Gobots anytime soon. lol Ah, thanks, I'll give it a look! Oh man, that is devious! I feel sad for the hardcore completionist... 36 variants.... WOW! lol Also, just added this here and to the first page. It's a bunch of BB repaints. Added an outline to the lines on the chbis, let me know if I should stay with or get rid of it.
they are just too cute to look at them for too long but, why no cliffjumper and glyph? and goldbug (shattered glass and the upcoming official repaint of this mold)
Thanks, that's all I could hope for! XD Hehe, I get the same question both here and on Deviantart. XD Ass for Cliff and Glyph, I believe they both deserve their own body types for their chibis, to make them purposely different from Bumblebee. As for Goldbug, I must admit, I did forget he was being repainted from this mold, but I feel like Goldbug deserves his own body for a chibi too. XD
i understand what you mean but still they originally were remolds/repaints of bee so is still something many have in mind when they are next to the other bee repaints
Yeah, that's totally reasonable. I guess I just really want to set Glyph and Cliff apart from Bumblebee in terms of visuals. I feel they're important enough to get their own look. XD Also for you and anyone else who sees this post, I'm taking character suggestions (preferably 3 suggestions from everyone) on which chibis to do next. Just an aside though, don't request the MTMTE cast of characters. Over on Deviantart, a bunch of people basically requested the entire cast of characters already, so I already have them in mind. LOL
